You know I like you guys but the return of a few players and at least one out of retirement back playing A grade makes this extra points situation a bit on the nose. What's done is done but the SFL has dug itself a big hole for when applications for extra points are made in the future from other clubs. Some would say your last flag was won with "blood on your hands" with about a third of your team poached from Hackham. Could a flag this year have a similar hollow feel to it. You have a star junior player who played 8 A grade games as a 17 year old last year but is back playing U18 at the moment and dominating. I thought it was players like him that you got the extra points for to help bring in some experience around.
The extra points within the SFL is nothing new and the smell of envy and ignorance are well and truly here.
The work the football club has executed to manage a loss of players from season 2013 has been outstanding and should be applauded. We haven't sat on our arse and said its all to hard!!!! We looked outside the square with seeds that where planted 12 months prior and now are reaping the rewards with tireless work of members of the NFC. (AND ALL WITHIN RULES AND GUIDLINES OF THE SFL) That said you just have to view results of our B grade side that has struggled to repeat the results of 2013 where they sat 2nd for most of the season, THIS IS CALLED DEPTH. and when you loose 20 + players its called lack of depth.
Now Young Troy has played 4 A grade games to date and has been injured over a 2 week period also not withstanding form. We have also had Gibb/Godfrey/Hogarth/C Johnson/Ross all play A grade this year that are still juniors or played juniors last year.
Now DTH in stead of negativity towards the Shoe how about some praise for being reactive and positive.
DTH I and am sure others are more interested in the conversation you and VICS must of had over the weekend?? Are you deflecting criticism towards the Shoe after your draw on the wend?
